Objectives
Research and analyze cyber security incidents.
Background / Scenario
The FBI has estimated that cybercrime cost individuals and companies over 3.5 billion dollars in 2019. Governments, businesses, and individual users are increasingly the targets of cyberattacks and cybersecurity incidents are becoming more common.
In this lab, you will create three hypothetical cyber attackers, each with an organization, an attack, a motive. In addition, suggest a method by which an organization could prevent or mitigate the attack.
Note: You can use the web browser in the virtual machine that was installed in a previous lab to research security issues. By using the virtual machine, you may prevent malware from being installed on your computer.
Required Resources
